Chapter 25

As the man approached them, Jungkook relaxed and greeted him.

"Jimin, this is my butler, Kang Chul."

"Greetings, Jimin." The butler said, smiling at him politely and bowing.

"Oh, hello." Replied Jimin, smiling back at him and bowing slightly.

"Please, allow me to take your luggage into sir's room." Said the butler, taking their luggage and walking into the house. Jimin and Jungkook followed behind, a bit slower since it was still hard for Jungkook to walk. They walked inside and Jungkook grabbed Jimins hand and sat him down on the couch.

"Chul, I wish to speak with Jimin in private now. Please excuse yourself."

"Ok, sir." He nodded and took their luggage and left. Jungkook then turned to face Jimin and appeared very fidgety.

"Um, hey Jimin..? Th-there's something I should tell you about me." He stuttered nervously.

"Sure, what's up?" Jimin asked, tilting his head slightly in curiosity.

"Well, the thing is..." Jungkook took a deep breath. "I haven't been entirely truthful about my job. You see, I am not a doctor. I only said that because I didn't want you to think I was a spoilt rich guy who didn't care about others. My family is actually very rich, we own two high up companies. However, both my parents passed away due to a car crash a few years ago. I inherited the money and so did my sister, but she lives out of the country and hasn't been to this house since a few months after our parents funeral. I've been living alone in this house ever since..." Jungkook looked down and Jimins eyes widened in shock, the heavy weight of Jungkooks words crashing down on him.

"Jungkook... I-I'm so sorry you had to go through that..." Jimin took his hands and squeezed them.

"Since you told me this... I should tell you this as well. So, you know what happened to my mother. Well, my father was full of so much grief he became an alcoholic. He was soon diagnosed with severe depression however he was cured a few years after. Two years ago, he fell incredibly sick and passed away. Since I'm an only child, I have been alone this whole time..." They looked into each others eyes, deep sorrow reflecting in them. But there was also an unspoken understanding, they had both gone through so much pain and grief. They hugged each other tightly.

"Jungkook, I want you to know that I am not going to judge you because you're rich. I really couldn't care less if you're poor or rich, as long as we're together I'm happy." Jimin said quietly.

"Hehe, you have no idea how happy that makes me feel." Said Jungkook, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes. He then wiped them away and they sat there in silence, arms around each other and a stronger bond formed.
